Face Catching Frisbee

/in /by

It was time to take out the frisbee for some Ultimate Frisbee. We had 15 PAX split into two teams, with a non-glow-in-the-dark frisbee and blinding parking lot lights for some face catching Ultimate.

Welcome FNG Nacho!

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, and Quad stretches. That’s all you need when you play Ultimate
The Workout: Every time the frisbee hits the ground, we rotated with 5 each of Monkey Humpers, Star Jumps, Merkins, LBCs. The team that scored got to pick the 10x penalty for the other team while they enjoy 5 ranging from Diamond Merkins to Homer-to-Marge. There were some amazing plays with cheating shoves and tricks. But always a great time.
Mary: 4 minutes of Mary called out by various PAX
Announcements: Check Slack for latest, Convergence this weekend.
Prayer: Closed out by Gump for Jameson’s Family, sadly another suicide in the community, strength and healing

It Takes Two to Tango

/in /by

Pax of 2 showed up to dance in the full moonlight. We had a spectator (principal, perhaps?) at Herbert Akins for our first round of 11s, but either he satisfied himself that we weren’t trying to break into the school, or he got bored, but fortunately he drove off before we got to 11 monkey humpers.

Warm Up:

Jog the lot, 2-back-1-forward on the stripes, side shuffle back, lunges with hip rotations

The Workout:

Elevens

  • Mike Tyson (merkin position with feet on wall; horizontal squat towards the wall, then merkin)
  • ~100m run
  • Box jumps

Tens

  • 10 capoeira pushups (5 each side)
  • high knees for ~20m
  • 10 side-straddle hops in cadence

Elevens (although we only got to 10-1 to 6-5 before time ran out

  • Break dancers
  • side-shuffle run (called an audible here and didn’t do bear crawls as Q’s shoulders were already pretty warm)
  • monkey humpers

Mary:

American Hammers, Boat-Canoes, WWIIs

Announcements:

Crablegs organizing a team for ALS walk, other announcements on Slack

Prayer:

Shredder, Crablegs, the Courtine family dealing with the loss of their 9-year old son at the end of February.

12 Rounds

/in /by

4 Pax out in the gloom at one of the original South Wake AOs…not fully knowing what to expect from the Q (H1N1)…but ready to go.  After the greetings, the Q realized we started 1 minute late so we all knocked out one burpee and got the party started.

Warm Up: Lap around the field and then squared up for some Good mornings, SSH, daisy pickers, imperial walkers and hillbillies…10 each in IC
The Workout: Today’s workout – 12 rounds

Each round began with a new exercise consisting of 3 minute intervals – 45 seconds on, 15 seconds rest

Round 1: Shoulder Taps – hold plank during rest

Round 2: American Hammers

After round 2, a potential FNG (Dexter) with his dog approached the Pax and inquired if we were a team in training.  We quickly took the opportunity to introduce Dexter to F3.  Dexter committed to come out in the gloom at Kenny’s Grave next Thursday so let’s be sure we have a great turnout.

Round 3: Bear Crawl

Round 4: Sprints across the parking lot

Round 5: BTW

Round 6: Low Slow Flutters

Round 7: Step-ups

After round 7, the Pax were short on time so the Q called out the remaining rounds and the last two were choice of Pax.

Round 8: Turkish Getups

Round 9: WWIIs

Remaining rounds not completed

Round 10: Lunges

Round 11: Moroccan Night Clubs

Round 12: People’s Chair

Mary: No time so left so we went right into announcements.
Announcements: NCAA Bracket Pool closes today; Q school tonight at 6:30pm; Sprint Tris and Run for the Quay coming up June 1st; Rugged Maniac May 18th; ALS walk April 20th

Each week, Pax gathering at Kennys Grave will share Nutrition tips and each Pax will leave with the challenge to execute and report back the following week.

Tip this week: Waste In, Waist Out – we’re all guilty of eating the leftovers (waste) off our kids plate they don’t finish that leads to a growing waist line over time.  Pax challenged to stop eating once you feel full instead of continuing to eat just because there are leftovers on your plate or your kids plate.  This approach will improve overall health.

Prayer: Founding and current senior pastor at Midway (H1N1 and Messi’s church) passed away this past Sunday – visitation tonight with funeral on Friday; Pax traveling (Cupid and H1N1); Recovery for injured Pax; Crablegs

The Workout: Told the Pax that we will start with high knees and that every time your QIC says “down” we do a burpee. We start off slow but I don’t think the PAX was very happy when I said “down” three times in a row! Twice! After we caught our breath we did 10 shoulder tap Merkins in cadence.  We mosey to the parking lot to bear crawl 3 parking spots then crawl bear back and do a squat twist to the R/L. Told Pax that we will do this 10 times OYO but had to call an audible half way through because of all the chatter.  After catching our breath again I told the Pax that we would be doing a lunge, squat then burpee all the way down the parking lot. We mosey to the playground for 2 sets of pull-ups x 10, swing crunches x 10 ( like TRX but your feet are on the swing), and star jumps x 10.

Little Squirts

/in /by

8:40 on a cool, wet Saturday morning and Bluehen, Hard Hat, Speed Racer, Emeril, Potter, Q-Bert walked throughout Womble planning the first of many monthly 2.0 workouts.  Pucks, ropes, hoola-hoops and flags were spread throughout the park.  Around 8:50 the PAX and their 2.0’s started to trickle in.   Quite a few 2.0’s had already been to some workouts and had names but there was a big group of FNG 2.0’s in the mix.  A great first turn-out.

 

Warm Up:  Quick jog around the tennis courts.  Time to get the 2.0’s riled up.  First exercise Fortnite’s Hype kicked off by Bluehen.  Second exercise Floss led by Q-Bert.  Into evolution of Kid:  Planks, Monkey Humpers, Squats, Duck Walk, Butt Kicks, High Knees, Jumping Jacks

The Workout:

Jog down to back parking lot. Emeril pointed the 2.0’s onto one of 2 sides of the parking lot.   Bin full of hockey pucks in between the groups.  1 2.0 per team ran to the pin and retrieved a hockey puck and returned and dropped it into the hoola hoop circle.  While the kids raced to grab a puck the PAX did push-ups and squats.  Emeril brought more pucks than he thought so at one point 2.0’s were asked to grab 2 and then 3 pucks at a time.   Yellow card was ready to move on to a new exercise so him and a couple other 2.0’s grabbed the bin and brought it back to their side.  Automatic disqualification for his team and 10 SSH as punishment.

Next up bear crawl capture the flag

PAX put in their flags and bear crawled up the parking lot while the 2.0’s ran around capturing their flags and taking them back to the hoola hoop circle.  2.0’s quickly won.  10 burpees to the PAX as punishment.
2.0’s were up next as they put the flags on and did a duck walk while the dad’s did a 1 legged hop to try to catch them.  2.0’s won so 10 burpees to the PAX as punishment.

3 sets of indian runs back to the tennis courts area for 2.0’s vs PAX in Tug a War.  Matches started with multiple 2.0’s on one end and Flanigan on the other.  2.0’s won.  5 Merkins for the PAX.  Second match pitted Moby, Beater and Bubba vs teh 2.0’s.  2.0’s won. 5 Merkins for the PAX.  Third match pitted 6-7 PAX vs the 2.0’s.  2.0’s won again.  Everyone does 5 Merkins

Burnin’ Down The Quads

/in /by

9 men came out in the gloom to pick daisies, sing, and dance.

Just kidding; we worked out.

Three newcomers to Sheepdog, (not FNGs though): Cupid, Yosef, and Mufasa (from Carpex, at Cupid’s invitation). Mercy was taken on the PAX for the second half due to wet ground and the presence of cover at the front-side of the school, so 2nd F at Dunkin would be a drier affair.

Warm Up:

Mosey around the school. Imperial walkers and hillbillies, followed by leg sweeps, Sir Fazzio arm circles, Michael Phelps, Good Mornings, and round of monkey humpers to limber up the hips

The Workout:

5-to-25 squats and 25-5 merkins, changing by 5 each round, with about a 35-yard sprint between each set, e.g. 5 squats; sprint; 25 merkins; sprint; 10 squats; sprint; 20 merkins.

Then ran back around front, and did 10 squats and 10 OYO butterfly situps, followed by a sprint around the round-about. Rinse & repeat 2 more times.

Combatives started with Wing Chung punches: 30 singles, 20 doubles, and 20 triples, and then moved on to a couple of handshake techniques, because you never know when someone’s going to come at you with a vicious left-handed knuckle-squeezer (not really, but it’s useful and simpler to start with handshakes than a knife).

Mary:

Stretching (since we don’t do a good job of this, and because core had already been worked in). Practiced tension-release stretching (holding tension in the stretch for 10-30 seconds, then relaxing int a bit deeper stretch. 3x).

Announcements:

Wrightsville half, first 2.0 workout Saturday at 9. If you’re interested in the Sprint triathlon this summer, join the Slack channel.

Prayer:

The Courtine family at the unexpected loss of their 9-year-old son; Shredder; Yosef’s high BP, wants to get more regular working out; Mufasa’s mom is going through a divorce; in general, marriages in turmoil
